STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER RE 13 CONTINUANCE OF STATUS CONFERENCE TO DECEMBER 8, 2011 AND WAIVER OF TIME FOR 14 PRELIMINARY HEARING DATE AND EXCLUSION OF TIME UNDER THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT 16

On November 2, 2011, the parties appeared before the Court for a detention hearing. At 19 the conclusion of the hearing, Ms. Singh was released from custody under certain terms and 20 conditions and a status conference was set for December 2, 2011. 21 Ms. Singhʼs counsel is unavailable on December 2, 2011, due to his travel out of the 22 jurisdiction on another matter. As such, the parties request and stipulate that the Court 23 continue Ms. Singhʼs status conference to December 8, 2011, at 9:30 a.m. 24

In continuing the matter to December 8, 2011, Ms. Singh waives time for a preliminary 25 hearing under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 5.1(c).

Defense counsel continues to investigate this case and review pre-indictment 9 discovery. The parties therefore stipulate that an exclusion of time under the Speedy Trial Act 10 for continuity of counsel and effective preparation of counsel is warranted pursuant to 18 11 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and (B)(iv). 12
